USS Scorpius - NCC 50666 – 10511.05

"Intermission"

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

The Side warp Drive has been nearly destroyed in the return trip home.

As it turned out, it emitted too much heat, and caused a multi-deck fire on the Scorpius.

The fire damage is mostly cosmetic or light damage that can be replaced by changing out damaged circuit boards and maybe a vacuum cleaner and a paint job.

For the last three weeks, the crew, assisted by workmen from Vulcan and Starfleet, has repaired the Scorpius to be good as new or better.

The crew of the Scorpius is now running tests as per mission orders from the Captain.

Now that repairs have been completed we need to carry out systems checks before going back on patrol.

I want all Departments to carry out these checks and report back to me.

Once this has been completed we will return to our assigned patrol route.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
:: In sickbay with his wife::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge reading status reports::

CNS_Rand says:
::in her office going over her reports, then sends them::

CTO_Horn says:
::Arrives on the bridge from finishing up work to the torpedo launchers::

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Captain, I will be up to the bridge shortly.  I just needed to make sure that Jeni didn't need anything before reporting for duty.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::quietly resting in sickbay::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Understood.  How is Jenise?

CEO_Deer says:
::in engineering finishing up on the diagnostic of the warp core::

CIV_Serok says:
:: In her quarters ::

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Resting at the moment.  The therapy is exhausting for her.

CNS_Rand says:
::leaves her office and walks the short distance to sickbay::

CEO_Deer says:
::rubs her side as it does still hurt::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Tell her I said hello.  Horn out.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Goes to his wife’s side:: CMO: Jeni, I need to be getting to the bridge before everyone forgets who I am.

CNS_Rand says:
::enters sickbay and walks over to Jenise's bedside:: All: How are we doing this morning?

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks up and sees Counselor Rand standing there:: CNS: She is resting at the moment, something that I should do again soon.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::opens her eyes at the sound of the Counselor's voice::  CNS: I am doing better, thank you.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles, gets up and heads over to the tactical console where her husband is::

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: XO: Aye, that you do.  If you don't take care of yourself, you won't be any help to anyone else.

CNS_Rand says:
CMO: I'm glad to hear that.  Your voice certainly sounds stronger.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: He never takes care of himself.  That is why I used to yell at him so much. ::smiles slightly at T'Lok::

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I know.  It's just that, with everything that has happened, and Pel Tor blaming himself, and my feelings of guilt, rest just doesn't come easily for me.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks down at his wife with an "I am so sorry this happened to you" Look::

ACTION:  Vulcan monitoring teams report Scorpius is ready to switch to internal power...

CNS_Rand says:
CMO: And rightfully so, Jenise

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Don't, life just goes on. ::squeezes his hand a little::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  How's tactical looking?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: We should be ready to go.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: You shouldn't do this to yourself, nor should Pel Tor.  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::receives the report from the Vulcan teams and acknowledges:: *CEO*:  Bridge to Engineering.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: I have made so many mistakes, dear.  I guess it is true what they say.  Every action has its consequences.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I checked everything out myself.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins:: CTO:  I knew you would.  Looks like we can switch to internal power ...

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: If only it was that easy, Counselor.  But, since I am trying to do things properly, I guess the next step would be for me to schedule an appointment with you.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Ready when you are.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I  was speaking with Jenise before, and I think she agrees with me that it would be good for me to speak with you and to Pel Tor.  If nothing else, it would allow you both to vent some of the things that you are holding in.  

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Afterwards I need to speak with you.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: And if I need to, I can prescribe something to help you sleep.

CNS_Rand says:
::nods::

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Are you sure you are up having a 7 foot 2 inch Klingon venting in your office?

CEO_Deer says:
::satisfied with what she sees:: *CO*: Sir engineering is ready for the switch to internal power sir.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Then please switch to internal power.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: And a small, yet very cerebrally powerful child?

CNS_Rand says:
::chuckles:: XO: I would suggest we have our sessions in the gym.  I can book the gym for just the two of us and you could throw things to your hearts desire.

CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: As you wish.  Going to internal power now.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: He is not safe until he gets help, T'Lok.  Kalla needs to try. ::blinks away the tears::

CEO_Deer says:
::taps the controls and the ship goes on her own power::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Thank you. Bridge out.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I would like to talk to you separately, but you would be able to observe when I talk to Pel Tor

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  What did you want to talk about?

CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: Sir we are on full internal power.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Squeezes his wife’s hand gently:: CMO: I agree.  CNS: Please, schedule appointments for Pel Tor and me.  

CTO_Horn says:
CO: In private. Of Course Commander N'mbarri may join us

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I know you have someone working with him to train him, but I think he may need more...perhaps another more neutral outlet.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I think he's a little busy ... let's use the ready room.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Inok will be good for teaching him the ways of telepathy and the likes.  However, he needs to learn control.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: He also needs to learn what to do with his emotions.  We cannot have him lashing out like this anymore.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Control is something that often only comes with time.  That's why I suggest another outlet.  Perhaps daily sessions in the gym or holodeck

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::waits for Russ to join her as she makes her way to her Ready Room::

CEO_Deer says:
::schedules round the clock diagnostics for the warp systems to make sure they are properly functioning::

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Well, when you have the appointments scheduled, please let me know.

CTO_Horn says:
::Follows the captain::

CNS_Rand says:
CMO/XO: I understand your concern and it is dangerous, but he's young and it will be difficult.  Though I think we'll be able to do this if we work together.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Of course.

CNS_Rand says:
CMO: Do you need anything before I go?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the RR and takes a seat behind her desk.  Signals for the CTO to sit::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: He likes stories of Earth sports.  Maybe he should learn to play baseball. ::sighs, wishing she could help her son::

CTO_Horn says:
::Sits down::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: No, I just need time to heal.  Thank you. ::forces a smile::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I believe there is an old Earth expression ... It's your dime ...

CNS_Rand says:
CMO: That could be a start.  I'm sure if we all work with him we'll find something.  Perhaps martial arts, there are disciplines and self control taught there in addition to the sport itself.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: First of all.....

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Perhaps he would be better of in a full contact sport, like Earth Football?

CNS_Rand says:
::nods in understanding::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I want to apologize for my actions out there.

CEO_Deer says:
Self: I hope this time the patrol is just routine and nothing more.  I really need to schedule some drills for my people.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I do not like football.  It is dangerous, even in the holodeck. ::frowns at the thought of Pel Tor breaking a collar bone or worse playing football::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I consider that matter to be closed.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Since we got back we haven’t spoke about what happened

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I just felt as if that needed to be done

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Second of all.......

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Well, it’s better than Parisi squares.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I believe we need to begin bridge officer training for one of our crew.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Or should I say reinforce that training and give that person a watch

ACTION:  All stations report green for internal power aboard the Scorpius, and the SF and Vulcan workmen begin to pack up and depart

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Who did you have in mind?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I believe that we are wasting a good officer in our doctor.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: She is fast thinking and is great in a pinch.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CTO:  I agree.  I'll bring it up with her.  If she is willing to do the training I cannot see why she couldn't be a bridge officer ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Do whatever you desire, husband. ::closes her eyes again::

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: No!  No!  That is not what I want to do.  Doing what ever I want got us into this situation in the first place.  

CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: Ship is in Green Mode

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Lastly, if you are not busy tonight, I would like to meet you for dinner.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Excellent work, Ensign.

CNS_Rand says:
CMO/XO: Please, this yelling will not do either of you any good.  Let me talk to Pel Tor first, then I'll make my recommendations to you.

CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: All engineering systems are 100% readiness.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Give you teams a pat on the back, Ensign.  Horn out.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Please, make the appointment.  Pel Tor and I will be there when ever you wish.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  That sounds like an excellent idea, Commander.  Shall we say 1800 hours?

CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: Thank you sir.  Will do.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Hollow deck 2.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: You would know better what Smurf would enjoy.  You are both male and Klingon like he is. ::opens her eyes again::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  It's a date ::grins::

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I'll set it up, but since my day is clear feel free to drop by anytime

CEO_Deer says:
::smiles::  Self: Well that is great.  Engineering is set and I have nothing to do except do the hourly power consumption reports.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Now let’s go get this ship ready to depart.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I do not yell any longer Counselor.  My comments were not foul intended at all. ::sighs::

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Becomes apologetic:: CMO: I am sorry, dear.  I didn't mean for that to come out the way it did.  I only meant that I want you to be involved in these decisions as well.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets up:: CTO:  Take charge of the bridge, Commander.  I think I'll go and see how Dr Jenise is faring.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Very good.  I will bring Pel Tor to your office before I go on duty, if that is ok with you?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: It is fine T'Lok.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: That will be fine

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Yes ma'am

CTO_Horn says:
::Returns to the bridge::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets up, exits the RR and heads for the TL::

CNS_Rand says:
CMO: I understand, Doctor.  My apologies for jumping to the wrong conclusion

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the TL and orders it to Deck 7, Sickbay::

CTO_Horn says:
::Takes center seat::

CTO_Horn says:
All: Status report?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Don't worry about it.  Considering my old self, I am surprised you didn't run for your life.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS/CMO: If you will both excuse me, I will go get Pel Tor prepared for his appointment.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::smiles:: XO: I will see you later.

CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: CMO: I never back down from a challenge.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Gently kisses his wife, and whispers into her ear:: CMO: I love you, Jeni, with all my heart, soul and being.

CNS_Rand says:
CMO/XO: If you will excuse me, I'll go set up for a chat with Pel Tor

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the TL and heads for sickbay::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I love you too. ::caresses his face for a moment.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Best of luck in your session, Kalla.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Come back to me, Jeni.  I miss you, and.... ::Voice cracks a bit:: I need you.  ::Turns and exits sickbay before he breaks into tears::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters Sickbay and nearly bumps into his XO as he is leaving::

CNS_Rand says:
CMO: Thank you, Jenise, I'll let you know what suggestions I have after I talk with him.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Pardon me, Captain.  ::Exits without saying anymore more::

CNS_Rand says:
::starts out of sickbay, nodding at the CO as she passes and continues toward her office::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Counselor ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::nods as the CNS leaves::

CEO_Deer says:
*Bridge*:  All power systems green across the boards.

CNS_Rand says:
::turns when she hears the Captain:: CO: Yes, ma'am?

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Goes to his quarters, and tells Pel Tor that he needs to go speak with Counselor Rand.  Pel Tor isn't overly enthusiastic about the idea, but doesn't put up a lot of fuss::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  How is she doing?  ::motions towards the CMO::

CTO_Horn says:
::Receives reports from all stations, ready to launch::

CTO_Horn says:
*CO*: Horn to Horn.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Go ahead, Commander.

CNS_Rand says:
CO: She's recovering well, but slowly. 

CTO_Horn says:
*CO*: All stations are a go. We are ready to get underway.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Then take us out, Commander.

CTO_Horn says:
::Smiles:: *CO*: Yes Ma'am!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Think she's up to having a visitor?

CEO_Deer says:
::walks over to the main control board and surveys it with a big smile::

CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: CO: I don't see why not, though she may be resting.  IF not, she should be up to talking for a short time.

CEO_Deer says:
ALL: For once this section is ready for embarkation.

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: I know you are worried about your mother.  I also know that you think others are blaming you.  That is why your mother and I think you should talk with Counselor Rand.  She will help you with the feelings that you don't understand.

CEO_Deer says:
::her staff turns to look at her smiling at them and they nod eagerly and go back to their jobs happy::

CTO_Horn says:
Helm: Half impulse, take us out of orbit.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS: Good.  I'll be brief.  Thanks, Counselor.

Pel_Tor says:
XO: I know.  I am just very confused right now.  I can't read anyone’s thoughts. I can't hear what others are saying about me.  It frightens me. ::Smiles, trying to hide the truth from his father::

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: CO: Of course.  ::continues toward her office::

ACTION:  Scorpius has been ordered to set course for the Romulan border for routine patrol...

CTO_Horn says:
::Feels the ship move out of orbit::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  How are you doing, Jenise?

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Come, Counselor Rand is waiting for you.  ::Exits his quarters, his son right behind him::

CTO_Horn says:
Helm: Set a course for the Romulan border, warp 5.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::opens her eyes:: CO: Captain, how are you feeling? ::smiles:: Have you had your checkup yet?

CTO_Horn says:
::Receives acknowledgement that the course is set::

CTO_Horn says:
Helm: Engage!

CNS_Rand says:
::enters her office and sets up for Pel Tor's visit::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: CMO:  Not for a while ... been a little busy.   Actually I wanted to ask you something ...

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives at the CNS's office with his son:: CNS: Hello again, Counselor.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: You need to take care of yourself. ::smiles:: I can try to answer.  Not all of my medical knowledge is working right now.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  Actually this isn't medical ...

Pel_Tor says:
::Follows closely behind his father, hiding slightly behind him::

CNS_Rand says:
::turns toward the door when she hears T'Lok:: XO: Hello ::smiles:: This must be Pel Tor?  ::bends down and holds out her hand to shake his:: 

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  I've been told I have an officer who would qualify for bridge officer command training and take a watch on the bridge ...

Pel_Tor says:
::shyly takes the CNS's hand, and shakes it::

CNS_Rand says:
Pel Tor: I'm Counselor Rand, but you can call me Kalla.  Would you like to come in and play and talk with me for a while?

CEO_Deer says:
::watches  as the Scorpius' power board lights up correctly and power levels are stable::

Pel_Tor says:
CNS: No, but my father said that I have to.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::listens carefully to the Captain::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  So, I am here to see if said officer is interested in taking up the challenge ... as soon as she recovers, that is ...

CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: Warp is ready at your discretion sir.

CNS_Rand says:
Pel Tor: I'm not going to make you stay if you don't want to.  But there are a few things over there you might find interesting.  ::points over to a corner filled with toys::

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Young man, you will be respectful to Counselor Rand.  Now, you apologize for that remark.

CTO_Horn says:
::Sitting in the Captains chair wondering when Starfleet will give him this opportunity again::

CNS_Rand says:
::stands and talks softly:: XO: I want him to feel comfortable.  If he prefers you to be here you are welcome.  At first, I would like to just let him get to know me and feel relaxed around me.

Pel_Tor says:
XO: Yes, father.  CNS: Sorry, counselor.  ::Sees the toys:: All: TOYS!

XO_T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I will leave that up to him.  

CEO_Deer says:
::not getting the answer comms the bridge::  *Bridge*: Warp power is at your discretion.

CNS_Rand says:
Pel Tor:  It's quite alright, Pel Tor.  Would you like to pick out something to play with?

Pel_Tor says:
CNS: Can I?  Please?

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: XO: Thank you, Commander.

CTO_Horn says:
*CEO*: We are already there.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I cannot answer that right now. ::looks a bit confused::  I am uncertain I have what it will take to be a doctor, let alone a bridge officer.  May I think about it?

CEO_Deer says:
*CTO*: Understood. Engineering out.

CNS_Rand says:
::nods and smiles:: Pel Tor: Please do.  There is a Terran train set there, and a few games, puzzles...there are even some Vulcan mind toys.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO: of course, no rush.  And by the way, I think you're the best doctor in Starfleet.  I'll let you rest.  ::gets up::
